FRONT ASPECT Framed by smart railings, the frontage features a well kept gravelled garden designed for easy upkeep, while a beautifully tiled pathway guides you to the front door and immediately showcases the property's period charm.
REAR GARDEN The rear garden benefits from newly installed contemporary wooden fencing, fully enclosing the space and creating a peaceful, private, and tranquil retreat. It features a range of specimen shrubs, including standard Sambuca and standard Cotinus, alongside a variety of hardy tropical and of evergreen planting. A dedicated Far Eastern-inspired section introduces a calm, zen-like ambiance, showcasing specimen Pieris and Leucothoe shrubs that provide a striking cacophony of colour throughout the year. The crowning jewel of the garden is a mature white Wisteria, drawing further influence from the Far East. Each May, it produces a breathtaking display-a blizzard of white flowers-followed by a lush green canopy that remains until October. Encircling the garden is mains-powered LED festoon lighting, enhancing the atmosphere and creating a fairy-tale setting, ideal for late spring and summer evening entertaining. An external tap is also installed to support both gardening and general maintenance needs.
